Creamsicle Muffins.
In case you’re wondering, I’m still in a cinnamon roll coma.
I decided it was time for something else for breakfast. Or snack time. Or if you’re anything like me, lunch and dinner.
I have issues.
Most normal people would eat broccoli or something. Or maybe eggs? No thanks. I’ll make some muffins.
Who doesn’t love creamsicles? And muffins? And cream? And heavy cream?
I do. I love anything and everything described “creamsicle.” Especially those Push-Ups I used to eat when I was on summer break. Those were the best. Remember them? Why did I ever stop eating them?
The only thing to make a delicious “healthier” muffin taste better is to add a sugary, creamy glaze on top.
Creamsicle muffins topped with creamsicle glaze?
Don’t mind if I do.

Yum, that looks delicious. The glaze would definitely have to be the best part of a healthy muffin.
I actually never liked creamsicles… but i love the idea of these. You are so creative!
Look and sound amazing! I’ve always LOVED creamsicles. GENIUS!
Looks fabulous. Most certainly a must try.
I’m not a huge fan of the Creamsicle pops, but muffins, that’s a whole different story.
PS – YES! I will be eating that glaze with a spoon! :-D
Great now I want a creamsicle with Fred Flinstone on it.
I guess I’ll have to settle for making these.
Which really isn’t settling is it? :)
I love orange creamsicles! I want these for breakfast.
OJ & greek yogurt are great muffin additions! These would be fun for the kiddos for breakfast. Happy Almost New Year’s Jessica!
Looks wonderful!!! Here, at a self serve frozen yogurt place, they have creamsicle flavor on tap!!!! Yum! =D
I wish we had froyo here!
I’m a fan of all things muffin. These look delicious!
These are healthy AND look amazing. Yum.
I’m a fan of all things orange creamsicle too!
These bad boys look and sound fantastic! I’ll definitely be trying these… I need something to get me out of my chocolate coma. :)
The glaze looks like stars! You are so flipping creative. You have more cooking creativity in your thumb than I have in my whole body.
Well, if it makes you feel better I can’t do a craft to save my life.
I would like to point out that you said a normal person would eat eggs. These muffins have an egg in them. Thus, it follows that you are normal.
The end.
These muffins look great & I LOVE that you lightened them up with the yogurt & whole wheat flour. Delish! XO
Delicious!!
I used to love Push-Ups!!!!!!! I am def. making these!!
They were the best!
Fantastic way to freshen up a basic muffin! I haven’t had a creamsicle in ages, but I’ve always loved the flavor combination of bright orange & creamy vanilla. The glaze is the perfect finishing touch!
Mmm, I also love creamsicle anything, and I don’t know why I’ve stopped eating it either. I used to have those frozen treats all the time…thanks for reminding me with these awesome cupcakes!
I did an orange pound cake last year with all the citrus fruit my parents sent us…I have been dreaming about it for a month now. You have convinced me it is time to make it. These look amazing and you know I love my glaze, so yes, I will be licking the spoon!
Yum!! Creamsicles are one of my favorite things! These sound fantastic.
Only you could combine creamsicles and whole wheat. I’m so proud of you ;)
Oh man….you just took me back to my childhood :-)
you would :)
These are just gorgeous!
Ohh, these sound awesome!
Mmmm…I LOVE creamsicles. These muffins look great! Great use of all the amazing citrus this time of year.
Mmm I bet the orange in there is so good! Love how cute they are too with the glaze.
These muffins look scrumptious! Mmm creamsicles.
I looove creamsicles. So much so that whenever I go to the dentist, I always ask for the creamsicle fluoride. Not that I’m saying these taste like fluoride – I’m sure they’re full of foodgasms! Love the photos too!
You are awesome.
YUM! I just got a juicer for Christmas, and it suggests using leftover pulp in some recipes like muffins, so I just might try it with these! Although that might be overkill with the citrus. :)
You will love your juicer! I love mine. I haven’t used the pulp in anything yet.
HOW do you even come up with this stuff?? I can’t remember the last time I had a creamsicle, but now I want one. And I love that these won’t freeze my fingers off…
Those creamsicles MADE my childhood. Yes, food was already that important to me back then.
Anything with glaze has my name on it.
if you love creamsicle then you have to try Trident’s Orange Creamsicle gum- it is delicious! I am making these muffins for New Years Day breakfast for sure :)
I have! Love it.
These sound AMAZING. definitely making them very very soon!
Such preTTy photos!!!!!
What an amazing little muffin you have there!
When we were kids, we”d walk to the nearby small store and get push-ups in the summer. I loved them. I think I must try these muffins!
Could you please adopt me? :) We could share stretchy pants!
Would love to. :)
I’ve been looking for a new muffin recipe to try! And I llloooove me some creamsicles!
I love creamsicles. I’ve made creamsicle cookies with a glaze very similar to this. Delicious!
Those sound amazing!
what a wonderful muffin! without the glaze, they actually would be a fairly healthy breakfast treat!
Meeker loves creamsicles – I cannot wait to make these for him!
Mmm…I love creamsicles & muffins. Win!
Beautiful! And super yummy looking! :)
These muffins looks exceptionally delicious! Definitely loved those Push-Ups as a kid too!
WOW.
